Hello,
Can anybody tell me what was the most powerful engine used in Taunus 71-83 (by factory)
Thank you, Econ

V6 2,3 114 horsepower.
-
germany 2.3 v6 114PS
3.0 essex v6 in south afrika (other countys ??? ) -
4.1l in-line-six in Australia, 140 HP or something else
-
OK, can I find somekind of data/specification sheets for over 114 hp version. I would need it for legaly install Duratec 25 V6 engine to my Taunus Coupe GT -71. In Finland we can only increase engine power 20% more than most powerfull engine of car model. So 114 is not enought for Duratec.
-
must it be a factory-version wich the exception depends on? also Ford gave a exception to increase power of the Ford Taunus 76 up to 180HP by using the vented Brake-disks of the Ford Capris 2.8. I this is a another opinion to you, just send me an email so I can send you a copy of the official documents. I know you want to use a 71, but it´s nearly the same car as the 76, as you know.
Also some more informations would be interesting for us, affect the Duratec-conversion. :D

Documents for -76 would be great. With those I could even try to complete the vehicle inspection. I have allready fitted the engine with turbo, but inspectors chanced they practice now. Before they accepted power measurement report of engine power, but they dont accept anymore power measurements below engine stock power. If you are interested of Duratec conversion, I could post some pictures.

Yep, we cant do those anymore. In 1990`s came the law wich orders next:
max power: 20% more than car models most powerful engine has
max displament: 25% more than car models largest engine
max engine mass: 20% more than heaviest engineso the duratec would be ok, but max power 1,2*114 PS = 136,8 HP < 170 HP (Duratec).
And in this case dyno chart less than 170 HP is not allowed. -
OK SE, thank you very much! :)

2.4EFI may be? + turbo kit after tech. control :) -

2.4 would be fine with 2.9 cosworth cylinder heads, but I am allmost done with the duratec.
here:
http://s259.photobucket.com/al…rent=Duratec.jpg&newest=1I prefer 6 cylinder setup for GT Taunus, but If I forced to go for four cylinder I probably choose Volvo 16 valve 2.3 engine with turbo. I have had cologne 2,0 2,3 2,8 and 2,9 engines before, but I don like them 12 valve desing so much anymore.

Yes, very hurt by doing this work, stuck on the documents...
May be enough docs from the Ford dealer that the Taunus went 2.8L 150hp motors, or that Duratec motor of 130hp? ;) -
what kind of transmission you´re using?
-
I have now 5 speed type-9 gearbox from scorpio, but in future I propably get tremec tko 500 or 600. Here are the housing for type 9 now installed:

Very nice Granada 5-hole wheels :rolleyes:
He changes the axles? :whistling: -
maybe, he changed, but as I remember right it´s not a big problem to change the axles to 5-spoke of P7 or Granada.
@econ: nice welding.job! would ne interesting how long the type 9 works on that conversion. how much power do you expect after that turbo-conversion? 250? or more?

Installation of the transmission/suspension from Granada/Scorpio - the usual practice.

for the very interesting links, that's an impressive amount of time and work that went in this car.
I DO understand the pictures, but will need a translation software for the text. Do you know what outer wheel arches were used to widen the fenders ?
The sketches of the project are well let's say not exactly my taste, looks like Chip FOOSE has some fans in your corner of the world, too.
A Taunus Eleanore kind of project...

A Taunus Eleanore kind of project...I'm post some links for example, and some more interestings cars not listed in my links; but this is my friends and I can answer their directly, if need.
About texts translations: texts are the same to the similary text here or there :)
about Petroza sketches: this is old sketches and can't be used in well done car - as you can see. when we remade a car - ideas remaded too :D
about arches: as I remeber all of arches from front kotflügel vw golf 2.
also front wings on car maked from front kotflügel from taunus mk5 due to no mk4 f.k. in stock.
